B A S K E T B A L L | "B's" Offer Future Encouragement | Starting the season off on the wrong foot by drooping their opener to staples 32-26, the Brainerd "B's" began the long job of continual improvement. Coach Bob Miller stressed fundamentals and team spirit as essential in a well-knit ball club. The "B's" looked slow and lacked overall determination and drive in their first few starts, but as the season progressed they began to look like an entirely new team. Under Coach Miller's guidance the boys began to use the fast break, and before the season was over, the Junior Warriors had routed many a foe with their tireless running game. As the season soared on, the "B's" began setting up a winning streak which lasted through 5 games, being finally stopped by the Little Falls Flyers. Hopes at the season's beginning as to future value to the school were dismal but this group of boys showed that they have the qualifications of becoming top-flight players. |
